Had someone that was in my discord for 2 or 3 years become trans lol. During a conversation he said he was taking E. I'm like, you taking ecstasy?? He's like nah. Then it dawned on me, it was estrogen lol. I asked why and he said he is trans and he always wanted to be a girl.
I asked did something happened to you? He said it was all natural. But then later said... when he was younger his parents gave him estrogen because they wanted a daughter (this must be at least 15+ years ago.. and natural my ass wtf??). But he definitely see it as natural. He even has a milf girlfriend. And...... he recently going to school for game development.
I have a gay friend that hates rainbows and trannies and wants them hanged. Lawl. I was giggling in my mind, waiting for him to join discord to put some sense into him and berate him. But like me.. i guess he was soft with him since we know him. But i suppose we should be harsh so he doesnt go through 100% with this. But probably doesnt matter since we are just, afterall, randoms even though we know each other for years.
Kinda funny since we make fun of woke tranny games all the time.
For friend interactions I feel the proper response is "huh" or "hmm". You acknowledge that you heard them without weighing in on it, or in this case when they talk in code you could say "oh you mean estrogen" so they know you understood and heard them.
What they want is a reaction - either good or bad, doesn't matter. Good and they get 'affirmed' or bad and they 'affirm' that you're the enemy and so your opinion doesn't count or even by tribalism should be against them.
Denying them your praise or scorn or interest is actually the most effective way to discourage them.
